WMT-TV -- The Dr. Max ShowIf you grew up in Eastern Iowa in the 1960's and 1970's, you probably watched Dr. Max. I had the good fortune of working with Dr. Max and Mombo for a short while, and I floor-directed the final show in September 1981. Here's more about Dr. Max and Mombo from KGAN's website... Listen to a few clips of Dr. Max and Mombo on our audio page...

Broadcasting in Chicago, 1921-1989The primary focus here is NBC's Merchandise Mart studios in Chicago, long time home of WMAQ Radio and TV and NBC's Chicago network operations. You'll also find a great deal of information on the "Chicago School" of television, the early days of WLS Radio, and much more... Don't miss the section on the classic "Garroway At Large" NBC-TV show from 1950, and in particular Slaughter on Tenth Avenue, the most impressive display of live technical directing and studio camera operation that I've ever seen. Remember, this was 1950!
